Played Oak Point. Beautiful course, but gators in every water hole. Not worth looking for wayward balls because them creatures are hard to see in the shade. Luckily most were small to medium, except for the tenth hole where granddaddy was sunning. Tee boxes were good, fairways good, greens fast. Not a course for high handicaps, but loved playing it anyways. The only draw back was the kitchen, no real food, just pre made sandwiches, chips and drinks.

I played Turtle Point. One of the most well-maintained courses I've ever played. The few times I didn't drive the fairway, I thought the rough I was in was fair and playable. Immaculate course. Greens were a little faster than I'm used to at the local public courses but they rolled true. Great experience.
  georgekkennedy - 05/23/2015
unrivalled quality - great caddies
tough at times off the next to back tees
most expensive golf course ive ever played
  DavidBise - 05/04/2015
FOR A GOLFER,THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THE BEST COURSES EVER TO PLAY. EXPENSIVE, BUT WORTH THE COST.
  pdrower - 03/30/2014
The Best Resort course in the US. The Ocean course when the wind is down is getable, however it is tough, when the wind blows have fun. The Course offers the best views anywhere in the US and a true links style course as you'll get this side of the Pond!
  dkfishnh - 02/13/2014
Best combination of course conditioning & scenery of any course I've played on and they've got 4 courses like that. Ocean, Osprey, & Cougar are about equal with Ocean coming out ahead with the Ocean views & multi-million dollar homes. Turtle Point had a little less scenery.
  Richierich20 - 01/28/2014
pretty simple! not challeging!
  CraigFischer - 08/06/2013
Great driving range; free balls and tees. Putting green good layout.

Beautiful course; well manicured. People at the course are all super-friendly and helpful. Beverage cart hit us 5 times in 18 holes - very good! Additionally, a marshal came with water if we needed.

It would rate 5 stars if the greens fee were a little lower - in season was $180 USD. That's pretty steep!
  TEnglehart - 05/12/2013
One of the best courses in the US, especially The Ocean course. A lot of fun and very challenging. Also found Osprey to be a beautiful course. Cougar is good and probably a little easier than some of the others. Heard Turtle Point was in rough shape (greens) so changed to Cougar Point instead.
